FAQs

My wooden fence posts are leaning and the gate drags on the ground. What’s causing this, and how can Lanigan Building fix it?

Rotting or frost-heaved posts are the most common cause of leaning fences and sagging gates in Sanford. Over time, moisture seeps into untreated wood or concrete footings shift during freeze-thaw cycles. Lanigan Building can diagnose the issue, replace damaged posts with treated lumber or set them on gravel footings for better drainage, and adjust gate hardware to restore smooth operation.

We have a draft coming from our front door, and the floor feels uneven in the hallway. Could these be related problems?

Absolutely. Seasonal humidity and foundation settling often cause doors to stick or warp and floors to become uneven or squeaky. Lanigan Building can plane or adjust the door for a tight seal, replace worn weatherstripping, and level or repair the affected floorboards. Addressing both issues together improves energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

What’s the best way to prevent my fence from needing major repairs every spring?

Proactive maintenance is key. Lanigan Building recommends sealing or staining pressure-treated wood every two to three years, tightening loose hardware before winter, and ensuring posts have proper drainage. We also offer seasonal handyman caulking around fence joints and gate hinges to keep out moisture. A spring inspection by our team can catch small issues before they become costly repairs.
